They also capped the price of labor and banned strikes. All prices were controlled. Plus there was rationing. I believe you needed stamps to buy sugar, flour, and other things. Not food stamps, you still paid but you had a limit on the amount you could buy.

With no control, a few could buy huge volumes to resell in the black market, just like what happened in the CoViD start with masks.
